How to Make Everything Bagel Cream Cheese Bombs

Note: This is an overview. See recipe card below for ingredient quantities and full instructions.

1. Prep the Cream Cheese Filling
In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese with a pinch of garlic powder and onion powder for extra flavor. Scoop small dollops onto a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 10 minutes—this makes them easier to wrap!

2. Roll Out the Dough
Unroll crescent dough and separate it into triangles. If using sheets, cut them into squares. Stretch each piece slightly to ensure the cream cheese stays snug inside.

3. Fill & Seal the Bombs
Place a chilled cream cheese dollop in the center of each dough piece. Pinch the edges tightly to seal, rolling into smooth balls. Any gaps? Dab a little water to help the dough stick.

4. Coat in Everything Seasoning
Brush each bomb with melted butter (or egg wash for extra crispiness), then roll generously in everything bagel seasoning. Press lightly so the seasoning sticks in every nook!

5. Bake to Golden Perfection
Arrange the bombs on a baking sheet and bake until puffed and golden brown. Let them cool just slightly—the filling will be molten hot!

Pro Tips

  • Chill the filling first—this prevents leaks and makes shaping easier.
  • Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • Double the batch! These freeze beautifully for quick snacks later.
  • Serve warm for the best gooey, melty texture.

Storage

  • Room Temp: Best eaten fresh but can sit for 2 hours max.
  • Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer.
  • Freezer: Freeze unbaked bombs on a tray, then transfer to a bag. Bake from frozen, adding 2-3 extra minutes.
